In July 1932, federal agents raided a picturesque farm near Jamestown, North Dakota. The farm was owned by one of the most prominent men in town. It also houses the biggest illegal booze operation west of Chicago.

One of North Dakota's wealthiest farmers was also a serial killer. Eugene Butler was a founding father of the town of Niagara, N.D., in 1882. Shortly after his death in 1915, workmen found six skeletons under his house. Now more than 100 years after his murderous spree, authorities say you might hold the key to identifying his victims.

This month marks the 100th anniversary of one of Fargo’s most notorious and sensational murders. On June 6, 1921, 18-year-old Marie Wick left her small family farm outside Grygla, MInn to visit relatives in North Dakota. 

But her overnight stay in "the big city" of Fargo, North Dakota turned deadly. She was found dead the next morning (June 7) in her hotel room. 

Police soon found the man they believed committed the brutal attack and he was eventually found guility and sentenced to life in prison. But did they make a mistake? 

Twenty-two years later, with a change of prosecutors, the answer might be "yes," as defense attornies and prosectuors fight to right a wrong and free an innocent man. But if the man convicted didn't do it, who did? And will justice ever be served?
